NEARING’S ESCAPE-HE
COMMITS AN OUTRAGE UPON HIS
SISTER-IN-LAW
And is Afterwards Caught and Jailed—A Party
of Lynchers Take Him Out aud Attempt
to Hang Him—He Is Rescued.
A Brutal Crime and a Mob's Vengeance.
New York, May 20.—The Herald’s
New Milford special says that one of the
most brutal crimes ever committed in
that state was enacted in the outskirts of
the town early last evening. Mrs. Chas.
Nearing, the wife of a wealthy resident
of Lanesville, spent Saturday aiternoon
in shopping, and after finishing her shop-ping
she went to the railroad station at
4:30 to take the 5 o’clock train for Lanes-ville.
While thus waiting, her brother-in-
law, who is about 22 years old and
married, drove up to the station and,
jumping from his buggy, informed his
sister-in-law that he was just about to
drive to Lanesville and asked her to ride
with him. When about a mile outside
the village he turned his horse into a
road leading through the mountains and
away from Lanesville. Upon inquiring
the cause of his taking this road the
sister-in-law was informed that he bad a
message to leave with a farmer living
about three miles further along. The
road is a lonely one and seldom used.
There is but one house on its entire
length. This is occupied by ihe above
mentioned farmer, for whom Nearing
said he had a message. When, however,
a little further along Mrs. Nearing said
that her brother-in-law began to make
improper advances, and, seizing an op-portunity,
she sprang from the carriage,
but young Nearing was not to
be foiled. Immediately he sprang
after her. letting the horse
go, madly galloping away. In springing
from the carriage Mrs. Nearing fell,
slightly spraining her ankle, and before
she could rise young Nearing sprang
upon her and literally tore her dress into
shreds. He left his sister-in-law lying
by the road and fled into the woods.
Mrs. Nearing,more dead than alive,drag-ged
herself toward the house of the
farmer, but had not proceeded lar when
she was met by the farmer and his hired
man, who had been alarmed by the team
galloping madly past the house. The
farmer and his hired man assisted Mrs.
Nearing to his house, when he at once
started for New Milford and notified the
authorities. An armed posse of officers
was at once dispatched to search for
young Nearing. He was captured, hid-den
in the interior of the woods. He
was immediately lodged in jail, and an-ticipating
trouble, an armed body of
officers was detailed to guard the pris-oner.
At about 3 o’clock this morning
the officers, whc were stationed in the
room adjoining the cell in which the
prisoner was confined, were surprised by
the bursting in of the doors and several
hundred men, wearing whjtc masks,
sprang upon them. The officers were too
drowsy to intelligently use their weapons
and they were bound hand and foot.
The keys to Nearing’s cell were taken
from the pocket of one of the officers and
the prisoner, who was now
loudly crying for mercy, was
roughly seized and bound
hand and foot. A rope was loosely
slipped around Nearing’s neck, while the
mob, carrying him with them, hurried
toward a tree near by. By this time the
entire population of the town had been
aroused by the noise of the scuffle in the
jail, toward which they began to hurry.
The lynchers, however, were set in their
determination to string up the young
man, and the crowd began to tighten
the rope around his neck. The foremost
men in the crowd now whipped out their
revolvers and began wildly firing toward
the lynchers. At the commencement of
the firing the lynchers fled and all of
them made good their escape, although
it is believed that some of them were
«ounded. Nearing had been left lying
at the foot of the tree. He was found in
an unconscious state. The noose was
quickly detached from the young man’s
neck and he was hurriedly carried into
the jail, where he was soon restored to
consciousness by several physicians. In
case of further trouble, an extra force
was left to guard the prisoner during the
rest of the night. To-day all has been
quiet in the vicinity of the jail, but further
trouble is anticipated to-night, as the
feeling against Nearing is pretty strong
in Lanesville. The jail is doubly guard-ed
to-night, and if any attempt to obtain
possession of Nearing is made it will be
resisted, as after last night’s experience
the officers are not disposed to succumb
to sleep.
